Mv son has acknowledged to tho school authorities the part that ho took nnd expressed regrets for tho samo and I think the other boys expelled have done the same thing and I think the publicity that has been given to "Cut ting down the flag," with thoir names attached for doing the same when they did not do the act, a thousand times more punishment to the boys and the parents than they deserve and I do not believo the school authorities in tended anv such punishment.

The New Vork Tribune says: When the merger of the Boston & Maine with the New York, New Haven & Hartford has been completed, Lucius Tuttle, now presi dent of the Boston & Maine, will retire and will be succeeded by Charles S. Mel lon, president of the New Haven road. The information was received by the Tribune from sources close to the New Haven and to the Boston & Maine man agements. Mr. Mellen at one time was a subordi nate of Mr. Tuttle in the Boston & Maine. Mr. Tuttle is one of the best-known rail road men in the east, and in Maine people will tell one that he commands more l.niniln,- ronfiilence thnn any business man in that part of the country. Mr. Tuttle, it is understood, is not m close .,,.,i -;ti. Ale Alellen and would not remain with the Boston & Maine under the consolidation, and, moreover, he feels that after long years of active railroad work he is entitled to a rest. His suc cessor, as far as operating control is con cerned, will be an experienced Boston & Maine man. but the-real control of the property will be in the hands of Mr. Mel len. Suicide at Woodstock. Oliver Hatch, aged 66 years, and a na tive of Woodstock, committed suicide June 12 by shooting with a 38-cahber revolver, lie was somewhat intoxicated. W R.

Admittance will be by card except to the gallery, which is open to the public. The exercises will be gin at 8 o'clock. Ora E. Butterfield of Detroit, Mich., a member of the class of ISSd and now general counsel for the Michigan Central Railroad eomnauy. will deliver the address. Principal Edgar Burr Smith will make an address to the class anu win an nounce the honor members and also the winners of tho four Austine prizes of $100 each which become available this year for the first time. The win ners are not vet known and probably will not bo known until Thursday as examinations which will figure in the final standing will be taken as lato as Tuesday. Principal Smith will turn the class over to the school board and tho chairman, Rev. E. Q. S. Os good, will make brief remarks and present tho diplomas. A meeting of the Brattleboro high school alumni will be held in the high school building Friday evening, June 21, at 8 o'clock. There will bo an in teresting program with musical selec tions and remarks by Ora E. Butter field of Detroit, Attorney-General C. C. Fitts and others. Tho gathering will be informal and will take the form of class reunions. The movement for a general reunion was started so late this season that there was no time to formulate definite plans for a gathering commencement week. It is expected that at the meeting Friday steps will be taken for effecting a" permanent organization of the alumni and that a reunion in more elaborate form will be held next vear. It is urged that individuals who are interested make an effort to get out their former classmates for the class reunions. It is probable that the plans for future reunions will include the assignment or separate pans iu mo arrangements to different classes. 626 3S4 27 26 23 4 2 Mabel F. Coombs 345 Mila J.
